And McIlory admitted that when he missed the fairway on the 13th hole, he knew his Mizuno JPX E600 irons dream had died.

"I'd knew that unless I birdied my way in, I realized I didn't have a chance," McIlroy said. "I realized that was it then.

"But this is my first experience at it and hopefully the next time I'm in this position I'll be able to handle it better.

"I didn't handle Mizuno JPX E600 irons particularly well obviously, but it was a character-building day, put it that way. I'll come out stronger for it."

And, speaking on his Twitter feed, McIlroy quoted Muhammad Ali, saying: "It's repetition of affirmations that leads to belief -- and once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen."

McIlory also received some words of encouragement from Schwartzel who said: "Golf is a really funny game -- one moment you're on top of it, the next moment it bites you.

"Rory is going to feel hurt. It's not easy what he went through. He is such a phenomenal player and he will win one Mizuno JPX E600 irons.
